The high school football playoff picture

Here is a look at the current playoff situation in area high school football districts.

21-5A (4 teams make playoffs)

In: La Porte (3-0), PA Memorial (3-0)

In the hunt: North Shore (1-2), West Brook (1-2), Channelview (1-2)

Who goes where: If North Shore and West Brook make the playoffs, La Porte and PA Memorial will go Division II and West Brook and North Shore would be Division I. If Channelview and North Shore make the playoffs, North Shore and PA Memorial would go Division I.

Who goes where: Nederland, the largest playoff qualifier, will be in Division I and the other Division I team will depend on who the other three playoff teams are.
If Vidor, Livingston and PN-G make the playoffs, then Vidor would be the other Division I team. If Vidor, Livingston and Ozen make the playoffs, then Vidor would go Division I. Vidor would also be in Division I if Ozen and PN-G make the playoffs along with them. In the event Vidor does not make the playoffs, then PN-G would be in Division I and Livingston and Ozen would be the Division II representatives.

Who goes where: If Silsbee makes the playoffs, it is the Division I representative because it is the largest school. If Silsbee does not make the playoffs, Bridge City is the Division I representative. In the event that neither Silsbee nor Bridge City makes the playoffs, West Orange-Stark will be the Division I representative and watch for snow in Beaumont.

18-3A

In: Jasper (3-0)

In the hunt: Diboll (2-0), Kirbyville (1-1), Center (0-2)

Who goes where: Jasper has locked up the Division I spot but that is not a good thing because it means the Bulldogs will face No. 1 Tyler Chapel Hill in the first round.

Who goes where: Kelly head coach Clint Hartsfield said it is important Kelly clinch the district championship (which it can do with a win over St. Thomas on Friday) because it gives the Bulldogs a home game in the first round of the playoffs against El Paso Cathedral High School.
